Fig. 2From: Molecular mechanism underlying the effect of maleic hydrazide treatment on starch accumulation in S. polyrrhiza 7498 frondsStarch accumulation in S. polyrrhiza 7498 plants after MH treatment. Starch content was calculated based on fresh weight (a); or each flask (b). Plants cultivated on the medium without (c and e) or with 75 µg/mL MH (d and f) were collected on the 8th day of the experiment and stained with I2-KI (c and d) or subjected to starch granule observation (e and f) with TEM. C, V and S represents chloroplast, vacuole and starch granule, respectively. * indicates statistically significance on the level of P < 0.05; and ** indicates statistically significance on the level of P < 0.01. Each point in A and B represents mean ± SE of 3 biological replicatesBack to article page
